COMBINED CARRIAGE AND FORMER FOR WIRE-BOUND-BOX MACHINES.

Application filed October 14, 1904.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, RICHARD G. Lvwoon and PERRY LAvnNBnRG, citizens ofthe United States, residing at South Bend, in

5 the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented new anduseful 1mprovements in Combined Carriages and Formers forVVire-Bound-Box Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the manufacture of wirebound boxes andpertains more particularly to work 'controlling means for determining ormaintaining desired relative positions of dilferent parts of box blanksor 12 blank sections preparatory to securing said parts together.

An object of the invention is to provide such work-controlling means forbox blanks or sections of blanks formed of side sheet material, separateor individual cleats, and

binding wires.

The invention is hereinafter described, for illustration, as embodied ina combined carriage and former arranged to hold in proper 5 relativepositions the side sheets and individual cleats for a sectional boxblank in which provision is made for the overlapping of the edge of oneside sheet by the margin of the next adjacent side sheet, at eaqh lat- 0eral corner edge of the completed box." The illustrative constructionshown in the drawings comprises means for determining a desired overlapmargin of the side sheet in a manner and for purposeshereinafter morefully explained.

The carriage and former shown in the drawings may be used in conjunctionwith any practicable apparatus for securing to gether the wire bindingand other parts of 40 blank sections. .For instance a suitable machinefor this purpose comprising a carriage and former such as that shown inthe present drawings, is described and claimed in an applicationco-pending herewith, filed October 27, 1904; Serial No. 230,249.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the illustrativecarriage and former. Fi g. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showingaportion of the channeledbar and adjustable spacing block slidablymounted thereon. Fig; 3 is a transverse section on the line X. X. ofFig. 2, showing the channeled bar, the. divided spacing block andSpecification of Letters latent.

means for clamping the latter to the bar. Fig. 4: is a perspective viewof the bar and spacing block mounted thereon, showing the adjustment ofthe separate block members relative to each other, so as to increase ordecrease the intervening space between cleat ends as they are assembledon the carriage. Fig. 5 shows a longitudinal sectional detail of one ofthe bars comprising the carriage, with cleats positioned thereon andspaced apart the desired distance by the adjustable spacing blocks. Fig.6 is a perspective view showing the nien'ibers comprising a box blankassembled and positioned on the can riage and means for holding theagainst displacement upon the cleats. Fig.

7 is a fragmental plan view of a cleat 4 showing a cleat in positionbetween the spacing blocks and means for holding cleat firmly in thecleat bar.

The combined carriage and former preferably comprises two longitudinalplates or bars 1, which are connected and firmly held together parallelwith each other, and at a distance apart corresponding to the length ofthe box sheets, or boards, by lengthwise adjustable cross bars 2, whichare formed of sections centrally slotted and held together by clampingthumb screws, allowing the bars 1 to be adjusted so as to increase ordecrease the Width of the carriage. The longitudinal bars or plates areprovided with dovetailed grooves 3, and side flanges 4, extending abovethe face of the bed plate 5, upon which the box cleats rest, the flanges4 serving to position the cleats against lat eral displacement.

A spacer or spacing block '6, comprising in the illustrative form twomembers 7, 7, is provided for maintaining adjacent cleats in theirproper relative positions and as par ticularly illustrated in Fig. 5,maintains an interval between adjacent cleats A, A, and projectsupwardly between the cleat ends into engagement with the side sheets B.B. Thus where'gtspacer block occurs between the cleat ends, its upperportion serves, as wilj be apparent tram Fig 5, as agage by which theoperator may position a side sheet 13,13 whenhe introduces the same tothe carriage or former. The spacer block members 7 7 have inclined faceportions 8, which. terminate in-extensions 9, 3 (Fig. 3), con-- PatentedFeb. 9,1915.

ithatside sheet B forming n ao eecingaeaovanejusted are locked againstdisplacement byclam ingscreyvs'104 which draw themparts together-"andclzlinp the extensions 9, to the bed plate 5, the said members'normallyslid ing freely in said bed plate when not clamped; thereto "Referringto Fig; 5, it' w ill *be seen that this spaoing bl'ockfl in 'themiddleo'fi the-fig ure; coiiperate's with the similaFblook-at "the 'ghtefah'e figure' to form a sort-ofpooket in whichn=-cleat -rests and theupper portions of said two blocks, extending into en 'gagementwith theside sheet-"1B, provide gagesby which theoperator may position inrelatiowto its cleat A; In other words, the two spacer blocks and thepart connecting-them, provide a former or work-holder for a side unitorsection of the'box.'-

Referringfagain' to'Fig. 5, it will be ob served that-eachof the sheetsB, B, has-a margin which projects beyon'd the end of its cleat. Withthis arrangement, as *Will'b'e evident to those skilled in 'thei'artfwhen' a binding Wire is secured alon' the'sheet, and the sections arethen folde'j, for instance, by folding-thesection on 'th'e rightof Fig.5, ina clock-Wise direction,-'the edge of the right hand sheet B may beturned under the margin of the 'lefthand sheetB whilethe projectingmargin of-the right hand sheet B will 'be folded against the end of thetopinoststep of'th'e lefth'and cleat Thus, when folded, as described,the :projccting margin of the lefthand sheet B provides what we term anoverlap margin by which one side sheet overlaps the other to form atight closure. 'lt will also be readily apparent to those skilled in theartthat the overlap margin of the right handsheet'B of Fig 5 is providedto *mate with the specific form of cleat used.

When the sidesheets are positioned with their edges a distance apartless than the thickness of the side sheet (as shown in v Fig. 5), andtheWire bindings are" secured to the 'sheets so -p0sitioncd,-the'folding'of the' blank, in which one sheet'edgeis forced under anadjacent overlap margin, puts the Wires under heavy tension and'holdsthem thus tensioned to maintain the overlapping sh'eetsat the cornerfirmly held and tightly closed. Thus it will be seen that the particularspacing blocks 6, in their application to the specific construction ofbox parts shown inthe drawings, each performs two ofiices besides thatof positionin adjacent cleatends'in' a cooperative fol ablerelationshipl: via, gto-assistith'e operator in'ireia tively positioningor gaging a eleat and side sheet to provide an overlap margin on onesheet of a width approximating the thickness of the sheet to beoverlapped; and to assist the operator in gaging or positioning therespective side sheets with their edges in proper relationship, 6. 9,, adistance apart .not greater than the thickness of the overjust them, andfastemng'thsm in adjusted position, they may-"be caused to space apartadjacent step-mitered ends of the cleats,

when the latter are placed in thebara'as requiredfbythe thiclmess-of thelumberforni ing the sheet sections B.

In'Fig. 2, the members? are shown in register whereby-this eieats at"their adjacent step-mitered ends are positioned close to gether,'whilein Fig. 4: the m'erahersare adjnsted relatively to increase the speee between the adjacent step-'mitercd ends of positioned cleats.

In'order to hold the sheets against displacement upon the cleats-as thecarriage is passed through the stapling machines, two arms'12, arepivotedrespectively "to the end cross bars 2 at'13, and theii free ends-con nected by a rod 14, which is swung over on to the sheets and reststhereonythe weight of the rod holding them, against displacemerit. SeeFig. 6. As shown in Figs. 1 and 6, the arms 12 are pivotedt0frock'substantially inthe planes of the adjacentedges of the sidesheets B and consequently, as will appear to those skilled inthe art,one-or both said arms will'serve as a stop or steps to position thesidle sheet material in relation to the carriage and the cleats held bythe spacers 6. When-said arms 12 are located as shown in Fig. 6 theystand in position to prevent any material movement of the side sheetslengthwise the cleats, While the stops 16 on the blocks 6 h'old'thesidesheets against movement trans 'ersely of the cleats, Thus all the partsare'held in'proper relations to be wired together to form a flexiblewirebound sectional blank. Since the sheets, as

preferred, how'ercr, to have the additional gaging means provided by theupwardly projecting parts of the blocks 6 (Fig. 5).

In practice the spacus or sprtcingblocks are adjusted on fihe clent barsso as to conform to the width of the box to be manufactured, the lengthof the cleats determining the width of the box sides. This beingacmm'pli-ihed the cleats A are positioned on the bars betnccn thespacing blocks and the sheets B placed thereon so that the edges join orare quite close together, after which the retaining bar 14, swung oreras to rest on the sheets, and. hold them against dis placement. Thisaccomplished the carrier with its as nblcd box parts is passed through cstapling machine and the sheets stapled to the cleats over a stay orreinforcing Wire, which holds the sections together when the blank isremoved from the carrier. big. (5 also shows the stay Wires C and thestaples D which straddle said Wires after which the carriage withdrawnfrom the machine and the completed box blanks re-- moved tlnt'reironi.and the some operation repeutedb it is obvious that several carriages orQfl'lllPS of spacing and gaging devices, such as those. des" ibed, maybe introduced in succession to a single stapling machine so as to permitthe box parts to be assemblednpon one of said groups of parts While apreceding carriagcorgroup is presenting its assembled box parts; to aetopling mechanism.

In order to hold the cleats firmly in the channel and ageinstthe outerflange of the cleet bar, so that the cleats will register with the edgesof the sheets, and to prevent wobbling of the cleats and possibledisplacement we provide plate springs 15, which are secured at one endto the inner flange of the bar or otherwise, and their free ends ravingengagement with said bar, the springs nor-- really oeing distended orbulged in toward the center of bar, as shown in dotted lines z. T. Theswing being depressed as a elect is inserted as indicated by full lines,thus firmly binding the elect in position on the bar.
